Police fortify station after foyer car crash

Warrnambool police are considering new defensive measures after a man rammed his car through their foyer last month.

Glen Shalders, 41, of Warrnambool, has pleaded guilty to charges including reckless conduct endangering death and dangerous driving, after the incident, and is due to face court again next month.

Inspector Shane Kernot says they are still waiting for a wheelchair-friendly front counter and sliding doors as part of the $70,000 repair job.

He says police will decide between two options to stop similar damage to the station in the future.

"We'll either have bollards put in that are fairly deep into the ground or we're looking at putting in a rock garden which will be out of ... native plants and we'll use our Indigenous people to help us design it," he said.

"But coming through the front door like that, with what we put in place in the future, you'd need a Sherman Tank.

"The front counter needs to be replaced and since it was first built 15 years ago, we're now actually going to cater for those in wheelchairs, so we've got to have a few adjustments to our counter there and the front sliding doors, they're still being rebuilt, so they'll hopefully be replaced this week sometime."
